As time goes on I am becoming more disappointed with this location. The have a quality selection of Micros/Belgium but it seems that the price has went up over the past 2 years. The atmosphere is still the same, dark, dirty, and unorganized. With the extra coin they should be bringing in let’s get a makeover.

The Beer Store was my fav place to pick up a sixer when I lived in pittsburgh... lacking in selection compared to smokin joes or 3 sons, but cheaper and they fill growlers... some goodies stashed behind the register, make sure to ask, I got a Dogfish World Wide Stout for $10, Sharp Edge wanted $18... worth the stop...

Not many places for beer out by the Airport. This is your typical hole in the wall beer store. Not very clean and not very organized (at least the craft beer). Prices are not labeled on many beers. The guy working the counter did not even acknowledge my presence. Oh well. Even though the craft beer was not organized, it is not that hard to get a look at everything that is available. The have a cooler full of beers in which you can mix a $10 six. That is a very good price for PA. They have a good selection of locals and regionals, but don’t expect to find any rarities. I don’t see myself going back unless I am staying in the area

So I had fairly big hopes riding on this one, that finally I would find that holy grail of a bottle shop in PA that had good selection, reasonable prices, knowledgeable staff, etc. I only went in the bottle shop portion of the store, so I can’t speak for the Trivia Lounge, but the bottle shop is quite a trip. There seems to be a complete lack of organization, clarity in pricing, selection of product, etc. They have lots of good beer, but the display is insanely archaic... little clusters of bottles (that may or may not be of the same type). If you find a six pack of something that you like, you can split it, but there may be a pile of individual bottles of the same just around the corner... or in one of the coolers. I only saw two indicators of price anywhere. The guy at the counter was nice enough, but when asked about whether brand x beer was worth anything, I got the answer Yeah. The pricing was wierd... individual 12 oz bottles start at $2 and the highest I saw was $5.50 (put it back on the shelf while being rang out). Bomber prices were reasonable for a bottle shop in PA, but not very good compared to the free world out there. If you can’t come up with a better place to go, try Ohio... it’s not that far and what you pay for gas you’ll more than make up for in the price of the beer.

Not a bad place for a college beer store. They had a little belgian selection and some stuff I wasn’t expecting. The organization could be better. There are coolers all over the place and hidden in corners. Some of the bottles were knocked over on the displays and some of the coolers were dirty and empty. There do have great prices though. I would return here since I live in Moon.

I really like this place, as a new beer taster for quality, the manager is very friendly. He tolerates well all the questions that uninformed rookies can ask. He is also into trading if you got something he don’t have. Select a variety six pack of anything for $10. He also has taps for anybody to fill growlers. Right down stairs is the trivia pub and their wings are good. Trivia pub is owned by the same people.

Prices are confusing and selection is not great but beats drinking budweiser and iron city all day.

Modest store above the Trivia Pub, mostly mix a six stuff with some other really great brews in the front. As far as mixing sixes go, this is the best place I’ve been to for that purpose...there’s a lot of choices. I also found some beers that aren’t available where I live (Sam Adams Triple Bock as an example) which sweetens the pot. The man running the store was super nice, very relaxed and willing to talk beer. Highly reccomended.
